Relatively new in the city on Bunda Street, Botswa

Relatively new in the city on Bunda Street, Botswana Butchery is a steakhouse extraordinaire with an uncertain future, writes dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON.

The Botswana Butchery went into voluntary liquidation – along with its Sydney and Melbourne locations – on March 31. But it is still trading.

Botswana Butchery sure loves its meat and game, but fish is also celebrated (prawns, scallops, lobster included). Classic, beautifully presented dishes showcase quality produce and gorgeous rich sauces. Established in NZ, the emphasis is on fun and flavour, as well as chef and culinary director Angel Fernandez’s Chilean heritage, which adds spice and intrigue.

At Botswana Butchery you can select something light and easy or go for a more fulsome three-course lunch or dinner.

“We might be old, we might be disabled, but we’re still part of the community,” says Chris Walburn, 76, in response to the YMCA’s decision to cease operations at The Y Chifley Health and Wellness Centre (The Y).

Due to paralysis on his left side, Chris needs assistance with walking and he says most gyms do not have the necessary support staff to help him get to different machines – preventing him from being able to regularly exercise.

For Albert Oberdorf, 80, The Y has played a critical role in his recovery from blood cancer and prostate cancer.

Albert says he was given two options for a rehabilitation gym, an expensive private facility or The Y Chifley Health and Wellness Centre (The Y).

“Fifteen years on, I’m still here,” says Albert.

He says The Y is “probably one of the best gyms I’ve been to in five different countries,” but on March 12, the announcement of closure was given.

“It was my 80th birthday… it wasn’t good news,” he says.

Tom, Chris, Pam and Albert all say the list of alternative gyms provided by the YMCA were inadequate for their needs, and will leave a large number of people, young and old, without an option for safe exercise.

“With the election not scheduled until October, the Canberra Liberals’ transport policy is unusually early. However, it is an Exocet missile aimed directly at the most vulnerable point of the government,” writes MICHAEL MOORE.

Pam Harris’ parents died from Chronic Obstructiv

Pam Harris’ parents died from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease at relatively early ages.

“They didn’t have the medications we have and the know-how,” says Pam, a 20-year member of the Canberra Lung Life Support Group.

“I promised my mum at the first sign of it, I would give away the cigarettes, and that was the hardest thing I ever did, I think.

“I was diagnosed [with COPD] in 2001 and I went to a specialist and he sent me on to a course called Pulmonary Rehab

“That taught you a lot about what the disease was and how it could affect you and so forth.

From her visits to the gym, Pam was introduced to the Canberra Lung Life Support Group.

The group was formed in 1998 and is a volunteer-led social network supported by Lung Foundation Australia, says Marina Siemionow, co-ordinator since 2019.

One of the main things that the group tries to encourage is better understanding of diagnoses.

“People leave being diagnosed with very little information, and therefore no support,” says Marina.

Dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON returns to an inner-

Dining reviewer WENDY JOHNSON returns to an inner-south pizza place after 14 years to discover the quality of the food and the delight at sitting outdoors on a warm evening under elegant, mature trees, remains the same.

Fourteen years ago I wrote a review of Bentham Street Bar ‘n’ Pizza in Yarralumla. This year I returned, to be greeted by one of the owners, Carol Julian, with her massive smile and warm embrace (Carol runs the place with sister Sandra).

I wrote this in 2010: “A base, a sauce, a topping. Pizzas can be run-of-the-mill but great ones are memorable.”

This is so true of Bentham Street Bar ‘n’ Pizza, with its Italian and Spanish influences. It’s reassuring that the quality of the food and the delightful feel of sitting outdoors on a warm evening under elegant, mature trees, remains the same.
